I have migrated our courses to the new quizzes but the build on last parameters need to be set. As they all have the same parameters, can I update this build setting in bulk or do I have to do it one by one? Once course has 76 quizzes Thanks

I'm a faculty member, and today, without warning, discussion posts have a terrible blue background in Speed Grader, making them hard to read. Please undo this very silly thing. As users, you should really know better.
